TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention generally relates to the technical field of air-conditioned clothing, and more particularly, to an air-conditioned garment having a semiconductor cooling system.

BACKGROUND

For people who work outdoors or in the wild such as policemen, soldiers and geological explorers, and for people work in special environments such as steelworkers and foundrymen, conventional air conditioners cannot accommodate their needs. Therefore, various air-conditioned clothes capable of adjusting the temperature of human microenvironment are developed.

Presently, the air-conditioned clothes sold on the market primarily consists of three types: a vortex-cooled type, a bag-inserting type and a direct air-cooled type. The vortex-cooled type air-conditioned clothes have shortcomings such as having loud noise, overly strong airflow, limited motion range and presents potential safety hazards. The bag-inserting type air-conditioned clothes are bulky, uncomfortable and inconvenient to carry. The direct air-cooled type air-conditioned clothes only speed up the heat dissipation, but lacks cooling or heating function and are uncomfortable to wear. All three types of air-conditioned clothes only have a cooling function or even do not even have a cooling function.

The cold air guide module 2 is attached to a first surface 11 of the semiconductor cooling device, and the cold air fan 3 is fixedly arranged on the cold air guide module 2 for generating a first directional airflow. The first directional airflow enters the garment body 8 after passing through the exterior of the garment body 8 and the surface of the cold air guide module 2. The first directional airflow is cooled after flowing through the surface of the cold air guide module 2, and the cooled first directional airflow continues to enter the garment body 8 to cool the garment body, thereby making a user feel comfortable. The heat conduction module 4 is attached to a second surface 12 of the semiconductor cooling device, and the heat dissipation fan 5 is fixedly arranged on the heat conduction module 4 for generating a second directional airflow. The first flow guide air cover 6 guides the first directional airflow. The second flow guide air cover 7 covers the exterior of the heat dissipation fan 5, and the inlet of the second flow guide air cover 7 extends to the exterior of the garment body. The second directional airflow flows out from the garment body 8 after passing through the inlet 71 and the outlet 72 of the second flow guide air cover as well as the surface of the heat conduction module 4. Therefore, when the air passes through the surface of the heat conduction module 4, the heat of the heat conduction module 4 is absorbed and finally taken out from the garment body 8 such that the heat dissipation and cooling of the heat conduction module are achieved.

To achieve the control of the semiconductor cooling unit, in this embodiment, the air-conditioned garment of the present invention further comprises a power supply, a controller and control buttons. Through tapping the control buttons, various functions can be selected by the user. The power supply supplies power to the controller, and the controller controls the semiconductor cooling device 1, the cold air fan 3 and the heat dissipation fan 5 to operate coordinately. The semiconductor cooling device 1 is connected to the controller through a wire 13. To allow the user to move flexibly and conveniently when wearing the air-conditioned garment, preferably, the power supply is a rechargeable battery, and more preferably, the power supply is a lithium battery.

Further, preferably, the cold air guide module 2 and the heat conduction module 4 are provided with a plurality of airflow channels 21/41, and the direction of the airflow channels 21/41 is directed to the exterior of the garment body from the interior of the garment body. The cold air fan 3 is located on one side of the airflow channel 21 of the cold air guide module facing the exterior of the garment body, and the heat dissipation fan 5 is located on one side of the airflow channel 41 of the heat conduction module facing the interior of the garment body. Through adopting this arrangement, the airflow of the semiconductor cooling unit becomes more reasonable, the heat of the semiconductor cooling device is effectively dissipated, the cooling efficiency is significantly enhanced and the cooling effect of the air-conditioned garment is greatly improved.

In this embodiment, preferably, the first flow guide air cover 6 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the airflow channel 21 of the cold air guide module, thus enabling the first directional airflow to sufficiently enter the garment body from the exterior of the garment body along the airflow channel 21 of the cold air guide module. In this way, the cooled first directional airflow is prevented from flowing towards the exterior of the garment body such that the utilization rate of the cooling capacity is enhanced and the cooling effect is improved.
